So here's a strange thing....only 13 cars have been NCAP tested for the whole of 2020 and 2021.
Hi Jocko I don’t think the MG5 my friend in my opinion will ever get a 5 Star NCAP rating might just scrape a 3 for at least 3 reasons as I can think off,1 no safety tech ie crash avoidance,roof bars that are fitted to the exclusive that must NOT be loaded and most of all MG,who do not appear interested in safety in any way shape or form, latest being on the ZS ev ie, total loss of power without any kind of warning according to things I have read on here in the last few days, very bad attitude MG motors appear to have, not only with us the customers but also it’s dealership according to some pity full,
Bit of trolling going on, methinks. It's not the feeling here at all. Very happy with car as having had a number of other makes over the years, this has surprised me as being built very well. After research I discovered that it comes from the same plant that makes VW in China. No problems at all with it for me, and compared to so called premium makes I've had (BMW, Audi and Mercedes) this is a good car at amazing value. It has things that they have learnt from others to fit as standard, and totally surprised me that it comes with all season tyres, which for me on UK cars should come with an additional star just for that. Like all makes there are I suspect some Friday specials (even Elon says he has those), and some people may have had the misfortune to get one of those......and the Mercedes 220 I had was definitely one of those (nothing like the engine stopping in the fast lane of the M25!)
The ZS may have had issues but I've not heard anything bad about the MG5 and I've only had mine a week but very impressed so far.
This might interest you..... MG owner SAIC Motor wants to change your mind about Chinese quality
Jocko les here please please don’t be put off by me, I’m in the same boat as you mate first ever new car 75 years old so probably my last as well, I like you have been on these forums for a while now and read loads and sean loads of videos and learned a hell of a lot about BEVs and not just MGs ,nothing is perfect in life no matter what you buy or where ever it comes from but please make sure they are safe some people like to say I think the saying goes you only get what you pay for, but with BEVs that sometimes does not ring true, my son has a Tesla model X £97,000 worth he has it on lease thank god, and it is not cheap but not without its problems took that on board to get the charging infrastructure needs it does a lot of miles in his job 2nd EV he’s had talked me into this also I don’t do many miles these days.
I agree will all you have said Alan and have just read the link you posted about SAIC motor company in China very good read I have never said the cars where no good But as for the Friday specials comment the MG5 roof bars is not one of them.
